Just came back on and saw your earlier post Sara. Thinking of u and will be checking in Tom to see your progress. Everything crossed for u xxxx

I have the advert here.. In Dutch! Very annoying!! Although the word for pregnant is Zwanger which me and DH find hilarious!!

I do like a bit of hair on DH... Nice amount of stubble is fine, but right now he'd fit in quite well with any local tramps! Just cleaner and smelling nice! Ha!

Evening ladies,

Please can I join the March bus? Have been rudely kicked off the Feb bus tonight. Feeling V.Sorry for myself, and a little tipsy if I'm honest.

Just wanted to share a Robert Winston documentary on conception and pregnancy:

It's 50 minutes long but it explains why the woman O'ing is so important to conception. It makes the cervix dip itself into the pool of sperm the bloke deposits (they've got pictures and everything). Hope it's not TMI but am at the stage of compulsively watching everything to do with pregnancy in the hope I pick up useful info.

Aaargh 4 d early now and another bfn

Shellster52 · 27/02/2014 07:27

I will be doing my 5th IVF in March. Have been TTC for 35 cycles now! Would love to chat with those who can keep me sane while I go through IVF. Not sure if everyone else on this thread is new to TTC or has been through what I have, but am hoping to join you for BFP in March.

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 07:36

Welcome Shell and good luck with the IVF, sounds like you've been through a rough time and really deserve a bit of good luck so I'm sending you loads x

SaRaRaRaRa · 27/02/2014 07:57

Morning ladies,

Ah sorry Nordic, try to stay positive though.

Welcome Shellster, wishing you all re luck in the world with your ivf this cycle. Fx for a March BFP for you.

Well I woke up this morning without the flood of AF I was expecting. Still spotting and exactly the same colour as how AF usually starts, it was just that patch of bright red blood last night that was different. I did a test and it was the same as yesterday - no darker which is what I'd have expected if all was going ok so I think the hormone levels will probably start to drop as my AF kicks in properly. Am really hoping it can hang on for a couple more days before full flow though as I worked out dates last night and DH will on a work trip in Europe smack in the middle off ovulation if today turns out to be cd1. Gutting!

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 08:09

Sara I'd still get in contact with gp if I was you, your still getting bfp's so the bleeding could be nothing to worry about. Hope your ok x

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 08:13

If I remember right the hcg levels double every couple of days so the line might not be darker so soon, not positive about that though...

Nordicmom · 27/02/2014 08:13

Finding it really hard to stay positive since I feel so sick and miserable and can't stop thinking about it . Feel like it's a bust again and it's just my illness making me nauseous :(.
Shellster52 haven't quite been where you are but I did 2 lots of IVF for our daugthter 22m via gestational surrogacy after 10 early misscarriages. It took us 5 y to have her... We have a DS 9y who I had with no problems. Now I'm trying naturally inially but feel like I'll end up doing IVF again and maybe down the line surrogacy which was very complicated . That's why I'm so negative about this whole ttc ... All the best I really hope march is your month!!!! Big hug

mama31 · 27/02/2014 08:14

Sorry Nordic for the bfn but your still in with a chance.

Sara sorry to hear your still spotting but Linda is right it may get less and less, and not turn in to af. I really hope this happens for you x

Well 11dpo. BFN and the mother of all evaps (oh I hate those! Def an evap though, I'm experienced at this lol) but zero spotting!!!! So I'm happy about that!

Nordicmom · 27/02/2014 08:15

Hoping for the best for ou Sarara!

SaRaRaRaRa · 27/02/2014 08:15

Thanks Linda. I'm just a bit put off as when I had a chemical previously I went to the doc and I was palmed off and made to feel really silly - they said there was nothing then can do for bleeding and far to early for scans etc so just to go home and sit it out to see what happened. And that was a bit later on than this. I think maybe I will see what happens re spotting later and perhaps make an appointment for the morning if things still unclear. Hubby and I both have tomorrow off so wouldn't have to worry about having someone to mind DS if I wait til then. Hope you are doing ok, you are in 2ww, right?

mama31 · 27/02/2014 08:15

Shell good luck with IVF!

SaRaRaRaRa · 27/02/2014 08:16

Glad no spotting today mama!

Nordicmom · 27/02/2014 08:17

Good luck to u too mama31

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 08:26

Sara from past experience with a good friend, she got a scan at not even 5 wks, I was with her, they obviously can't see the heartbeat but they can see the sac if there's a baby in there so it's worth a try. Fingers crossed for you... If i ov'd when I think I did I should be on 6dpo now my ic tests should arrive over the wknd and I will become a raging poas crazy woman, lol. I'm not expecting a bfp though so I won't be too upset if I don't get it this month...

gennibugs · 27/02/2014 08:26

Morning all. 14/15dpo and a BFN this morning. I guess it's not happening this month. Also got all symptoms of AF. Hope she hurries up and comes on time.

words cannot express how miserable I feel. I'm not sure sure why I'm surprised as we tried for 8 cycles in 2012 with no luck. Guess i just hoped it would be different.

going to make a doctor's appointment and persuade DH to go for one too as I need to know that all is okay. I'm 33 so not getting any younger.

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 08:27

mama that's good the spotting hasn't came back, good luck to you x

gennibugs · 27/02/2014 08:29

Sarara fingers crossed for you. Hope no more spotting. And mama good news on the spotting. Hope it sstays away.

mama31 · 27/02/2014 08:35

Thanks ladies. Sorry Genni, it so difficult I know. I'm off to GP on Monday again to discuss possible progesterone issue and DH is getting SA done soon as well. It's best to check everything out just in case.

I'm not telling GP that the vitex seems to be helping as she might say just keep taking that then. I'd much prefer to get progesterone like choccy if that's what I need.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 27/02/2014 08:51

Morning ladies, sorry for the bfns Hmm but you're not out til the red butch arrives!
Really hope this cycle is the one for you Shell, sounds like you've had a long journey! Good luck!

Mama- no spotting! That's great news! Fingers crossed you have a sneaky BFP hiding in there!! 11dpo is still early

PolytheneGirl · 27/02/2014 08:56

Good morning Ladies.

Lots of ups and downs this morning. I hope everyone's got some high quality chocolate on hand! I'd preach the "stay positive" cliche but I'm not feeling it this morning either. DS has had me up all night and I'm questioning the reality of actually having another LO to look after. Was this all a bad idea? I hope not! 1dpo today. No looking back now!
